The relative strength indicator they use isn't RSI, but the actual "Relative
Strength Comparative" indicator that compares two symbols to each other.
Thanks though. I believe RSI is a comparison of the stock to it's range the
previous "x" periods. I couldn't find the Relative Strength Comparative
indicator as one of the available functions for system testing or expert
building.

Wouldn't it look like this : Enter long: Cross( Mov(RSI(14),10,E
),Mov(RSI(14),30,E))
Enter short:Cross( Mov(RSI(14),30,E
),Mov(RSI(14),10,E))
Good luck with this nice idea.
